Yeah, I did it! I got up at 4:45 am and met two girlfriends at the canal in the DARK! We ran very slowly, kept stopping to stretch, etc., so I didn't have time to go any further. That is fine, because I did 5 miles last night, and I knew 10 miles in less than 12 hours with minimal sleep would be rough.
The timing was perfect. My friend sent me a text message right after I logged off the blog last night asking if I wanted to meet them, so I jumped at the opportunity, knowing that it would ensure that I would get out of bed! I also knew I would have to get to bed soon, so I did not even start watching the Bachelor (a guilty pleasure), because I knew if I started it I would watch the whole thing and not even start to get ready for bed until 10:00! Killer self-discipline, except for the half-bag of chips I ate right before my run last night. I was so full I didn't eat dinner-oops! Maybe next week I'll give up sugar and white flour! |
